Important changes in follower growth, engagement and potential impressions

How one Twitter account’s performance compares to others

The details on your new Twitter insights

We’re really excited about the brand new insight stream, which features a number of actionable data-based insights built to help you identify important changes in your metrics and decide what steps to take next to improve your Twitter performance. The insight stream includes information like spikes in impressions or retweets, above-average follower growth, and the best time for you to post to get more engagement.

We’ve also upgraded the Tracker overview in your dashboard, which allows you to more easily compare Trackers at a glance. See how different Twitter accounts or topics measure up, who’s getting more engagement when, when potential reach and impressions spike, and more.

Finally, we’ve added an all-new what’s hot section that highlights popular elements in your Trackers, including the most retweeted Tweet, most influential contributor and most popular hashtag and URL. Use these highlights to easily see what’s trending across your Trackers.

Want insights across social channels?

And now you can access our insights and dashboard for any of the social media channels we analyze, which includes Instagram and Tumblr. This makes it even easier to track your social media campaigns across platforms and quickly see what’s working and what isn’t. Interested in learning more about our full social suite? Let’s talk!

Big news! If you use our Union Metrics Tumblr analytics, we just rolled out a sweet new update to them - a new top-level account dashboard. We’ve also beefed up two Tracker engagement reports – the posts summary and curators summary.

Did you know we also provide Instagram analytics at Union Metrics? We do! In addition to the TweetReach Twitter analytics you know and love, we offer a number of social media analytics for other platforms, including Instagram.

The Union Metrics team will be celebrating a long holiday weekend for the next couple days. We’re still available if you have any questions, but please allow us a little extra time to return your calls and emails on the following dates:

Saturday, August 30 – Monday, September 1

On these days, our support staff will return all non-urgent requests within 24 hours and urgent requests as soon as possible. As always, you can get in touch with us in many ways:

Last night, a laptop was stolen from one of our engineers. We took immediate action to ensure that all our systems were secure and there is no evidence of any compromise. But as a security precaution, we recommend you change your TweetReach or Union Metrics password right away.

Union Metrics for Tumblr or Union Metrics for Instagram users can log in here: https://app.unionmetrics.com/. Then click the user icon in the top right corner to access your user profile.

While access to the laptop is password protected, it did contain a partial data export from two of our user databases. No credit card, financial information or analytics data was involved in any way, and all stored passwords are one-way encrypted using a cryptographic hash and a technique called “salting” which protects you even if you used the same password on other sites. Your password cannot be decrypted, so the risk to your personal information is quite low. However, it is possible that usernames and email addresses could be accessed, though they have not yet been. Changing your password will eliminate any possibility of a data breach, however unlikely.

We are extremely sorry for this inconvenience, and we have taken every step possible to ensure that your data is secure and your identity is protected, now and in the future.

We will be here if you have any questions, so please email or call any time.

What does Union Metrics for Instagram do?

We wanted to build bigger, better Instagram analytics – something that allows us to take our deep-dive approach to social media analytics to one of our favorite platforms. Our Instagram analytics can show you how any account or hashtag – yours or a competitor’s – is performing at a glance. We can help you understand your posts and what makes them perform well, which hashtags get the biggest response, when an audience is most active. We can show you who your biggest fans and supporters are, who likes and comments on your posts, and so much more.

How does Union Metrics for Instagram work?

Just like TweetReach, Union Metrics for Instagram analytics provide real-time, ongoing monitoring for any account or hashtag on Instagram. When you set up a new Tracker, we’ll backfill it with some historical data to get you started, and then continuously add new and future posts in real time.

Instagram also inspires the most dependence, according to one survey; the 18-25 year old demographic identify with it and see it as an extension of themselves. If this is the demographic you’re looking to target, then you absolutely need to be on Instagram.

What if I’m already a TweetReach or Union Metrics for Tumblr customer and I want to add Union Metrics for Instagram?

We can add Union Metrics for Instagram to any existing Union Metrics account – TweetReach or Union Metrics for Tumblr. Or, you can upgrade to our Social Suite if you’d like flexible access to all three platforms. Just let us know what you’re looking for and we’ll make it happen!

Sounds good!

Fantastic. Keep your eye on this space and we’ll let you know any new and exciting details as they roll out.

We’re so very thrilled to share some exciting news! Today we’re releasing two brand new products – Union Metrics for Instagram and the Union Metrics Social Suite. Both will give you even more options for analyzing your social media campaigns, as we’re now on Twitter, Tumblr, and Instagram.

They grow up so fast, don’t they? We can’t believe the TweetReach snapshot report is five years old already! We sold our very first snapshot report five years ago today, on April 3, 2009. Since then, we’ve run 6.5 million snapshot reports analyzing more than 251 million tweets.

This is what our early TweetReach Twitter analytics reports used to look like, in the spirit of Throwback Thursday. How far we’ve come!

TweetReach has grown so much in the past five years, and we want to thank everyone who has been a part of that journey. We wouldn’t be here without you.

And if you want to check on the reach of your tweets, you can run a snapshot report here any time (as always, the first 50 tweets are free, and up to 1500 are just $20). Here’s to the next five years, and beyond!

We are excited to announce our new TweetReach account Trackers! Making it easier than ever to track all interactions with a particular Twitter account, our new account Trackers allow you to measure engagement through retweets and mentions, discover your biggest fans and advocates, find your most popular content and media, and track your follower growth over time.

You’ve always been able to use our TweetReach Pro Trackers to monitor activity with a particular Twitter account by setting up a couple specific search queries, but this new account Tracker type makes it simpler to set up and easier to interpret. We think you’re going to like it!

Our new account Trackers feature all our traditional metrics -like reach, exposure, tweet volume, unique contributors, hashtags and URLs, full tweet listing and search, and individual contributor metrics. But now, you also get a top-level view of a specific account’s activity, including:

Direct and amplified impressions

Follower count over time

Mention and retweet counts

Retweet and amplification rate

The new account Trackers are great for ongoing account monitoring of your own (or your clients’) accounts and competitor analysis.

With a TweetReach Pro subscription, you can now choose whether a new Tracker will monitor an account or a topic. As always, a topic Tracker can monitor anything that appears in a tweet – one or more keyword, phrase, hashtag, URL, even a Twitter handle. But now you can specify from the beginning if you want a Tracker to monitor only interaction from and with a particular account, and get custom metrics on that Twitter account. For more detailed information about what’s included in our new account Trackers, check out our helpdesk.
